NICB Employees Giving Back to the Community

Food pantries are vital resources for countless families and individuals who have been impacted by a challenging economy or struggle with poverty. A special thank you is extended to NICB employees whose generous donations of canned goods and other food items help to combat hunger.

Numerous NICB employees volunteer their time and actively support many charitable organizations throughout the year. It's no wonder then that some HQ employees became involved with the local Self Help Closet and Food Pantry here in Des Plaines which reportedly serves on average about 1,000 persons per month.

"The food box to help the Des Plaines Self-Help Closet and Pantry first showed up in the NICB lunchroom around 2009. It was around the time the economy wasn't fairing well, and the food pantry donations were slowing down. We wanted to help the community we were fortunate to be working in by giving back! It is gratifying to see our donations put to good use immediately." Anna K., NICB senior tactical analyst

"I'm very happy to bring the food items to the pantry on behalf of NICB, as it gives me the feeling of "pitching" in as a team to assist those who are less fortunate." Donna W.,NICB  training associate

Thank you Anna, Donna, and all who have provided their support over the years.
